elder care

Dr. Andrew Krock is a Rolling Meadows, IL physician who specializes in geriatrics (elderly care). He graduated from Northwestern University, Feinberg School of Medicine.

"Dr. Krock has been my primary care doctor for many years. At appointments he reviews my history, annual maintenance, immunizations (past and any current suggested vaccinations), he reviews reports submitted to him by my other doctors that are specialists, reviews my medication list and he notifies me of any upcoming preventative maintenance exams needed (yearly mammography, if it is time for a colonoscopy, annual blood tests, annual eye exam, etc.). In the past, when he was not my primary doctor at the time, I was very ill and had seen other physicians who did not discover my diagnosis. I made an appt with Dr. Krock to be checked, he ordered a scan at that appt which showed the life-threatening issue. Within a few hours of my appt with him, I had a diagnosis that saved my life. I highly recommend him as a primary care doctor. He is thorough, conscientious, polite and most importantly an above average doctor. My husband now sees him as his primary care physician also. We both have every confidence in Dr. Krock for our medical care. The office staff are helpful and efficient when you call to make appointments or to leave a message. "

What is Geriatrics?

Geriatrics is the subspecialty of internal medicine that provides primary care to older adults. Physical health tends to decline with age, and geriatricians work to manage such age-related concerns as chronic illness, frailty, multiple medications, and declining mental health to keep seniors as active and independent as possible.

Some of the most common concerns seen by a geriatrician include:

Mobility issues, including the need for canes and walkers, as well as preventing falls
Osteoporosis, a weakening of the bones, which affects as many as a quarter of all men and half of all women over fifty
Loss of hearing or vision
Incontinence, or the inability to control one's bladder
Memory loss, including dementia and Alzheimer's disease

A geriatrician may also provide their patients with comprehensive care that includes checking on their social health. Seniors are at increased risk for poverty, loneliness, abuse, and injuries in the home. As part of their health care, a geriatrician may inquire about family support, living conditions, or the ability of a patient to perform daily self-care tasks.

In some cases, a geriatrician may serve as an advisor to other physicians on a specific case or condition. However, most of the time geriatrics is a primary care specialty, and geriatricians provide routine health care to the older patients they work with.
